A kinetic model describing the enzymatic saccharification of wheat starch by a mixture of ol-amylase and amyloglucosidase has been developed. The model describes the influence of pH, glucose inhibition and starch and enzyme concentration, The results of experimental saccharification under different physical conditions, eg pH and temperature, were used to determine the parameters in the model. The
Development of B-lymphoid cells in the bone marrow is a process under strict control of a hierarchy of transcription factors. To understand the development of a B-lymphoid-restricted functional network of transcription factors, we have investigated the cell autonomous role of the transcription factor EBF1 in early B cell development. This revealed that even though transplanted EBF1-deficient fetal
The conference series European Conference on Scientific Publishing in Biomedicine and Medicine (ECSP) was originated at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Sweden and was for the first time launched in Lund in 2006. The mission to be highly relevant for researchers was retained at the second meeting, hosted by University of Oslo, Library of Medicine and Health Sciences. The meeting focused o
We add the Wess-Zumino-Witten term to the N = 3 massive nonlinear sigma model and study the leading logarithms in the anomalous sector. We obtain the leading logarithms to six loops for pi(0) -> gamma*gamma* and to five loops for y*pi pi pi. In addition we extend the earlier work on the mass and decay constant to six loops and the vector form factor to five loops. We present numerical results for
The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the initial diabetes education process, the impact on children and their parents and parental satisfaction with the care received one and two years subsequent to the child’s diagnosis. In order to seek a deeper understanding for how the diabetes team’s initial education process works from admission to discharge among families with a child newly dia
Hydration of films of pig gastric mucin was studied using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) equipped with a humidity module. As a prerequisite, the water adsorption isotherm of a clean silica surface was determined. Atomic force microscopy was used to characterize the changes occurring on the silica surface after repeated sorption/desorption and cleaning cycles. The
A portable high resolution soft x-ray and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrometer has been developed for spectroscopic research at the Shanghai Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) laboratory. A unique way of aligning the grazing incidence spectrometer using the zero order of the grating is introduced. This method is realized by extending the range of the movement of the CCD detector to cover the zero ord
To deal with the problems resulting from the current unsustainable pattern of resource utilization, the material life cycle of plastics should be extended. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been increasingly adopted as a strategy to redirect the material flow, but its contributions to the market development of recycled plastics have not been well researched. Norway is one of the countrie
High oil prices, news about limited oil resources and the increasing demand from fast growing economies like India and China have fuelled the global discussion for a security of energy supply, as well as a diversification and decentralisation of energy sources. At current oil prices, liquid biofuels become a cost-competitive alternative to traditional transport fuels. This option seems to be of sp
The purpose of this study is to examine how participants perceive virtual agents shown on a computer display. In particular, it is explored to what extent participants transfer gender and attraction stereotypes that are commonly applied in the physical world to virtual agents. Previous related studies have often explored only text or voice interfaces, without any visually appearing agents, and her
Arbetet som nu pågår inom EU syftar till att minska den administrativa bördan för företagen genom enklare regler för de europeiska företagen som regelförändringar inom bolagsrätt, redovisning och revision. I de flesta medlemsländer inom EU har antingen revisionsplikt aldrig funnits eller ett avskaffande av revisionsplikten för små och medelstora företag (SME) redan skett. Utvecklingen är i enlighe
Serviceföretag är beroende av att frontlinjepersonalen kan infria varumärkeslöftena i mötet med kunden. En förutsättning för att kundens förväntningar ska uppfyllas är att budskapen i den interna och den externa kommunikationen överensstämmer. Storytelling är ett effektivt marknadsföringsverktyg för att få värderingarna att genomsyra frontlinjepersonalens agerande samtidigt som berättelserna förme
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyse how and why Swedish companies choose to enter a country transitioning into stabilisation. With a qualitative, abductive approach the thesis aims at an analytical generalisation. The explorative nature of the paper is made with a multi-case study. The empirical data was generated by interviews. The theoretical framework is the foundation, which
This study aims to analyse the brand identity of sporting cities using existing sponsorship and city branding theory. A comparative case study was conducted between Melbourne, Australia (identified as the benchmark sporting city) and Malmö, Sweden (an emerging sporting city). Within the sponsorship realm, the theories of image transfer, corporate branding, congruence and sponsorship-linked marketi
The paper, by studying the abnormal returns to transaction parties, examines the level of managerial hubris in the Nordic tender offers.
The purpose of the study is to try to understand how do international employees (of non-Swedish origin) employed in a Swedish company make sense of the given organizational and social context and what implications does this have on their identity work and identity struggle, in particular in relation to them being placed or casted as different and other
Due to a shifting competitive landscape, companies have realized that in order to meet the new market trends, they need to be flexible not only within their own link but throughout their supply chain. One factor that has proved to have great impact on supply chain flexibility is information sharing. The purpose of this thesis was to add to the knowledge on how organizations can increase their supp
